Anthropic PBC said in a US Securities and Exchange Commission filing that its initial public offering will open to Australian retail investors. The offering will become available after the company lodges a prospectus with the Australian Securities and Investments Commission.

The company has not disclosed the number of shares on offer. People familiar with the matter said investors expect a valuation of US$1.4 trillion to US$1.75 trillion.

Australia joins Japan, Canada, and parts of Europe in allowing retail investors to participate directly in the IPO. Professional and sophisticated investors can join the US offering without waiting for the Australian filing.

Anthropic said revenue rose 45% to US$16.8 billion. A Morningstar/PitchBook analysis questioned whether leaked financials justify a roughly US$2 trillion valuation.

The Australian Securities and Investments Commission also has a disclosure relief framework for foreign securities.

The offering follows Firmus Grid’s decision to scrap its planned Australian IPO in October and later explore a private capital raise.
